have a common table, but not a common bed.' They are in the flesh, but they do not hve after the flesh.^ 'I'hey pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven.^ They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned ; they are put to death, and restored to life.-* They are poor, yet make many rich ; 5 they are in lack of all things, and yet abound in all ; they are dishonoured, and yet in their very dishonour are glorified. They are evil spoken of, and yet are jusdfied ; they are re- viled, and bless ; ^ they are insulted, and repay the insult with honour ; they do good, yet are punished as evil-doers. When punished, they rejoice as if quickened into life ; they are as- sailed by the Jews as foreigners, and are per- secuted by the Greeks ; yet those who hate them are unable to assign any reason for their hatred.
